Scribes in Manipur suspended work for the day Thursday and held a meeting on the editorial rights of the media houses following fresh pressure on the media to publish “in toto” a statement issued by newly formed outfit KYKL (Military Defense Force). The new outfit was formed by a group of KYKL members who decamped from the first battalion of the outfit (general headquarter camp) after killing nine cadres including the commanding officer, a lieutenant, NCO and private on June 21. On July 14 last, the faction met with some media persons in an undisclosed location in the hills and insisted on publication of the handout “in toto” which was refused by the media after thorough analysis to the statement.
